It was inevitable. Teemu Selanne has signed on with the Anaheim Ducks, but it was surprising to see that the deal was for two years and not just one. The deal is supposed to be worth about $2.625 million against the cap each year.The addition of Selanne improves the Anaheim offense considerably and now they haven't to worry about whether or not he'll be on the opening night roster or not. The only question remaining will be, who will be the next one on the roster to go, because they are already hugging the cap ceiling from the wrong side, but only by $1.5 million or so.
| Forwards | Defense | Goaltenders |
| Ryan Getzlaf | Chris Pronger | Jean-Sebastien Giguere |
| Corey Perry | Scott Niedermayer | Jonas Hiller |
| Chris Kunitz | Steve Montador | |
| Brendan Morrison | Francois Beauchemin | |
| Teemu Selanne | Kent Huskins | |
| Todd Marchant | Ken Klee | |
| Rob Niedermayer | Sean O'Donnell | |
| Samuel Pahlsson | ||
| Bobby Ryan | ||
| Travis Moen | ||
| George Parros | ||
| Brad May |
So, where does Selanne rank on your list? Does his age take his numbers down at all? Last season, he managed 23 points in only 26 games, so he could be in line for 72 points if he can play at that pace for 82 games. That's a lot of points to pick up from a guy like Selanne. You should probably consider him dangerous.
